I
received an advance copy of this book for review from the publisher. Many
thanks to them for entrusting me the advanced readers copies (ARCs) of the
books they publish and believing in me that I will make a good book review to
encourage more readers and share the book love to people. All thoughts and
words on this review are my own.

I was just done reading
another contemporary book before this so I was thinking of reading a fantasy
one but something about this book made me want to read it. I’m thinking it’s
probably about the beautiful cover or the fact that bloggers and authors alike
are raving good stuff about it.

Let me start by saying that
this book is beautiful beyond words. The kind of beautiful that you want to
read when you wake up, the kind of beautiful that makes you sigh. It’s the kind
of book that makes you speechless and the opposite of it all at once. It makes
you feel all the feels all at once.

Maddy is not the typical
white girl you read mostly on YA contemporaries. She’s half African-American
and half Japanese, so basically she’s African Asian. She has brown skin and
curly puffy hair. But she is sick and that is kind of mainstream but well not
really for her case, not like Hazel Grace sick but like prisoner sick, she
can’t leave outside of her house because literally anything in the outside
world can kill her in an instant. She had been depraved of physical contact
with people ever since she can remember. But when she met Olly, she wanted
everything she can never have. I just love how fierce she is spending her days
even with all the risk and uncertainty with Olly. I love the way she loves
fiercely.

Olly on the other hand is the
weird-emo-angel-of-death boy next door. He’d been through a lot with his family
being depraved of love and has his own issues but that doesn’t stop him from
loving Maddy. He does everything for her even if he knows she might be taken
away from him in any moment.

The content of this book will
in no way get you bored because the words, the phrases are artistically written
with world theories from medicine to life to love and to everything everything.
There are also artworks on this book drawn by Nicola’s husband, David that is
too beautiful to even describe. The illustrations are everything everything as
well.

The plot of the book is
utterly compelling and moving and it’s the kind of book that makes you choke
while sighing, and laugh while sobbing, and cry while smiling. You must have
this book. It is simply beautiful. And we all need Nicola to write more
beautiful books for all of us.
